Vintage David Bowie SP 1980 8x10 by Greg Gorman posted for opinions per new BST Rules

Posted prior to possible sale per the new BST Rules. Opinions most welcome.

Vintage Official RCA "Lodger" promotional 8"x10" b/w original gelatin silver print by photographer Greg Gorman. Developed on quality double weight paper with high gloss finish. Optimal contrast, typical angle, signature, placement, and signed boldly with a steel tipped pen in a vibrant blue ink. A strong, unrushed clean signature with full dedication and inscription. Selected by me for highest quality. Near Mint + with 4 sharp corners. Overall, one of the best SP's I have seen (contrast is the usual problem, followed by condition). Images below - full image and large detail of signature. The little flecks seen in the detail are part of the photograph. Guaranteed to pass Andy @ davidbowieautograph.com, MarkG, Roger @ R.E.A.L., Paul Wayne @ Tracks, PSA, JSA and anyone else out there.

I'm sure it will. You have a good eye for quality.

Thanks Joe. This one is so unrushed it allows the handwriting in the dedication/inscription to really flower.

Stunning - always loved this!

Infact, I would change my name to Tim (or Jim) by deed poll.

Hi Mark,

Thank you - much appreciated. I take it as "Tim". As to Joe's question, we shall see. I have asked.

Eric, what are thinking about asking for it?

Hi Joe, I have not heard when I can offer it here so that might be premature. Best left for the "sale" thread. There was a bite within minutes but this process must conclude to follow the rules I suppose.

Hopefully, Steve Cyrkin will chime in. When does an autograph gain eligibility to post in the Buy Sell Trade forum? Just curious how this process work?

That's true! :) Thank you, Tim.

Howdy Eric 

I haven't read the new BST rules yet (bin overly busy) but I am glad to see the pre-sale process in effect again. 

In the past, if a few solid members gave it the thumbs up, it could go up for sale

That being said  I of course know this one is Legit 

So add another thumbs up to your list 

Good luck with the sale mate

Hiya Shawn :)

Thanks for the kind words and thumbs up about this Bowie SP. It will likely be listed soon - this prime example might be a featured in a blog at Andy's at davidbowieautograph.com as well.

Chat soon,

Eric
